Best meds to lower transmission rate

Im just wondering which med is best when it comes to reducing shedding and risk of transmission to a sexual partner, and also do you have to take it daily or can you only take it before your sexual encounter? .  Thanks in advance for your help

I meant to say valtrex is the only antiviral you can take just once daily -sorry for any confusion!

valtrex is the only herpes antiviral you only take daily. If you want to lower transmission to a partner, you need to take it every single day, not just before you have sex.

have you ever read the free herpes handbook at www.westoverheights.com?
